Tree hugger

I have no idea what prompted this.I have no idea where he even got this idea.

One afternoon last week, Spencer was busy making things. He loves to color, draw, write notes, cut, glue. And the kids have a place with tons of paper, markers, crayons, scissors, envelopes, glue, tape, you name it. And my sweet boy spends hours there, just creating things. So this particular afternoon, it was not anything out of the ordinary. He was making a card. I could tell because he folded the white paper in half.

Then a little while later, he asked me how to spell "tree." So I called out to him, "T." Then he said, "OK, now what?" I called out "R." And so on.

In a couple more minutes, he was finished.He presented me with the fruit of his labor.It was a card alright.It had a BIG red heart on the front.He was so proud of it.

Wanna see the inside?OK, here it is:Yep.That's what it says:From SpencerTo TreeI love you Tree

I don't know why but this one made me cry. I think because it is sweet to the point of almost hurting to think of this precious little boy making a card for a tree...even thinking of a tree..or maybe because I have always loved trees myself..but never actually told one that...am I too old to make a card for a tree? ;-)I imagine the the One who made the tree is smiling!

About Me

I love my husband. I love my babies. I love my whole family. I love all my furry babies. I would rather be at home with my family than anywhere else in the world. I love America and all things patriotic, but I do not like politics. I laugh, cry, and love easily. I move a lot because I am a PROUD army wife. I like new places, but I love the South best of all. I still call my mom's house where I grew up "home," much to my husband's dismay. I love TV, and I love TiVo. I read People magazine every week. And when I started this blog, I had no idea that I would love it this much. Thanks for stopping by!
